Be aware that CTI ports may not be associated with directory numbers (DNs) that are members of line groups and, by extension, that are members of hunt lists. If a DN is a member of a line group or hunt list, that DN cannot get associated with a CTI port that you configure with the Phone Configuration window.

You configure the Cisco VG248 and VG224 analog phone gateways from the Gateway Configuration window of Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration. From this window, you configure the gateway analog phone ports (doing this takes you to the Phone Configuration window). When you want to update the VG248 and VG224 ports, use the Phone Configuration window. The following procedures apply to update or delete for this phone type. See the "Gateway Configuration" section on page 66-1 for Cisco VG248 analog phone gateway and VG224 analog phone gateway configuration information.

The following topics provide information about working with and configuring Cisco Unified IP Phones in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration:

Phone Configuration Settings

The Cisco VG248 and VG224 Analog Phone Gateways will not display when you search for phones. You can search for the Cisco VG248 and VG224 Analog Phone ports from the Find and List Phones window of Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration. See the "Gateway Configuration" section on page 66-1 for configuration information on the Cisco VG248 and VG224 Gateways.

Tip After you configure the phone in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, you can view the IP address for the phone in the Find and List Phones window. For phones that have an IPv4 address only or both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, the IPv4 address displays in the window. For phones with an IPv6 address only, the IP Address displays as 0.0.0.0 in the IP Address column in the Find and List Phones window. To identify the IPv6 address for the phone, click the Device Name link in the Find and List Phones window, which causes the Phone Configuration window to display. For the IPv6 Only device, the Phone Configuration window displays an IPv4 address of 0.0.0.0, listed as IP Address, above the IPv6 address.

Tips About Configuring Phones

When you add a new phone, you can choose a phone template that was created by the Bulk Administration Tool to configure automatically some of the phone configuration settings, based on the template. For more information see the "Configuring Cisco Unified IP Phones" section.

For each phone device type, the Phone Configuration window displays either Device is trusted or Device is not trusted, along with a corresponding icon. The system determines whether the device is trusted, based on the device type. You cannot configure whether the device is trusted.Table 67-1 describes the available settings in the Phone Configuration window. For related procedures, see the "Related Topics" section.

To view field descriptions and help for product-specific configuration items, click the "?" question icon in the Product Specific Configuration area to display help in a popup window.

If you need more information, see the documentation for the specific phone that you are configuring or contact the manufacturer.

Select the "Override Common Settings" box for any corresponding setting in the Product Specific Configuration area that you wish to update. If you do not check this box, the corresponding parameter setting does not take effect. Parameters that you set in the Product Specific Configuration area may also appear in the Device Configuration window for various devices and in the Enterprise Phone Configuration window. If you set these same parameters in these other windows too, the setting that takes precedence is determined in the following order: 1) Device Configuration window settings, 2) Common Phone Profile window settings, 3) Enterprise Phone Configuration window settings.

You do not have to reset a Cisco Unified IP Phone after you add a directory number or update its settings for your changes to take effect. Cisco Unified Communications Manager automatically performs the reset; however, you can reset a Cisco Unified IP Phone at any time by using the following procedure.

Note If a call is in progress, the phone does not reset until the call completes.

You can also see the "Synchronizing a Phone" section for instructions on updating the phone with the latest configuration changes by using the least-intrusive method.

You can view the directory numbers that are assigned to the phone from the Association Information area of the Phone Configuration window. You can also choose Dependency Records from the Related Links drop-down list box in the Phone Configuration window. If the dependency records are not enabled for the system, the dependency records summary window displays a message. For more information about dependency records, see the "Accessing Dependency Records" section on page A-2.

This field displays the name of the active firmware load if the Cisco Unified IP Phone has registered with Cisco Unified Communications Manager.

In some cases, the Active Load ID field displays "Unknown." For example, Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration might display "Unknown" in the Active Load ID field for any of the following circumstances:

•For SCCP phones, when the phone is a Cisco Unified IP Phone 7940 (SCCP), 7960 (SCCP), or 7985 (SCCP), because these phone models do not support the necessary version of SCCP.

The Device Is Active message in the Phone Configuration window in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration displays when a phone consumes device license units and when a phone can register with Cisco Unified CM.

For a phone that uses a real MAC address, not the dummy MAC address that is created via BAT, the Device Is Active message displays, which indicates that the phone uses device license units and can register with Cisco Unified Communications Manager.

For a phone that uses the dummy MAC address that is created via BAT, the Device Is Active message does not display. If you manually convert the dummy MAC address to a real MAC address in the Phone Configuration window, the Device Is Active message displays after you save the configuration; this ensures that the phone can register with Cisco Unified Communications Manager and that licensing consumes device license units for the phone.

For information on how to access the MAC address for your phone, see the Cisco Unified IP PhoneAdministration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Managerthat supports your phone model.

Cisco VG248 Analog Phone Gateway

The MAC address for the Cisco VG248 gateway specifies the endpoint from the Gateway Configuration window of Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration. See the "Gateway Configuration" section on page 66-1 for configuration information.

Only one MAC address exists for the Cisco VG248 Analog Phone Gateway. All 48 ports share the same MAC address. Cisco Unified CM requires unique MAC addresses for all devices.

Cisco Unified Communications Manager converts the MAC address for each device by

•Dropping the first two digits of the MAC address

•Shifting the MAC address two places to the left

•Adding the two-digit port number to the end of the MAC address (to the right of the number)

EXAMPLE

MAC Address for the Cisco VG248 is

000039A44218

the MAC address for registered port 12 in the

Cisco Unified Communications Manager is

0039A4421812

Cisco VG224 Analog Phone Gateway

You can configure a Cisco VG224 gateway as an MGCP gateway or an SCCP gateway. When it is configured as an SCCP gateway, it can have 24 analog phone endpoints. When it is configured this way, it functions similarly to an IOS SCCP gateway. The MAC address for each individual phone gets calculated by using a formula that considers the slot position, subunit, port, and the last 10 characters of the original MAC address.

Device Name

Enter a name to identify software-based telephones, H.323 clients, and CTI ports.

For device names that are not based on a MAC address, as a general rule, you can enter 1 to 15 characters comprised of alphanumeric characters (a-z, A-D, 0-9). In most cases you can use dot (.), dash (-), and underscore (_) as well.

Tip Because the rules for the device name field depend on the device type, Cisco recommends that you see the product documentation to determine which character set is valid for your device, as well as the number of characters allowed. For example, when you configure the device name for the Cisco Unified Personal Communicator, make sure that the name starts with UPC.

Note Ensure that the device name of a Cisco Unified Mobile Communicator does not exceed 15 characters. If the device name of a Cisco Unified Mobile Communicator exceeds 15 characters, migration of this device will fail upon upgrade to a different release of Cisco Unified Communications Manager. If an existing Cisco Unified Mobile Communicator device name specifies a longer name, shorten the device name to 15 or fewer characters.

Description

Identify the purpose of the device. You can enter the user name (such as John Smith) or the phone location (such as Lobby) in this field.

For Cisco VG248 gateways, begin the description with VGC<mac address>.

The description can include up to 50 characters in any language, but it cannot include double-quotes ("), percentage sign (%), ampersand (&), back-slash (\), or angle brackets (<>).

Device Pool

Choose the device pool to which you want this phone assigned. The device pool defines sets of common characteristics for devices, such as region, date/time group, softkey template, and MLPP information.

Common Device Configuration

Choose the common device configuration to which you want this phone assigned. The common device configuration includes the attributes (services or features) that are associated with a particular user. Configure the common device in the Common Device Configuration window. See "Common Device Configuration" for more information.

To see the common device configuration settings, click the View Details link.

Phone Button Template

Choose the appropriate phone button template. The phone button template determines the configuration of buttons on a phone and identifies which feature (line, speed dial, and so on) is used for each button.

Cisco Unified CM does not make this field available for H.323 clients or CTI ports.

Softkey Template

Choose the appropriate softkey template. The softkey template determines the configuration of the softkeys on Cisco Unified IP Phones. Leave this field blank if the common device configuration contains the assigned softkey template.

Common Phone Profile

From the drop-down list box, choose a common phone profile from the list of available common phone profiles.

Calling Search Space

From the drop-down list box, choose the appropriate calling search space (CSS). A calling search space comprises a collection of partitions that are searched to determine how a dialed number should be routed. The calling search space for the device and the calling search space for the directory number get used together. The directory number CSS takes precedence over the device CSS. For more information, see "Partitions and Calling Search Spaces" in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide.

Choose the appropriate calling search space for the device to use when it performs automated alternate routing (AAR). The AAR calling search space specifies the collection of route partitions that are searched to determine how to route a collected (originating) number that is otherwise blocked due to insufficient bandwidth.

Choose the appropriate Media Resource Group List. A Media Resource Group List comprises a prioritized grouping of media resource groups. An application chooses the required media resource, such as a Music On Hold server, from the available media resources according to the priority order that is defined in a Media Resource Group List.

If you choose <None>, Cisco Unified CM uses the Media Resource Group List that is defined in the device pool.

To specify the audio source that plays when a user initiates a hold action, click the drop-down arrow and choose an audio source from the list that displays.

If you do not choose an audio source, Cisco Unified CM uses the audio source that is defined in the device pool or the system default if the device pool does not specify an audio source ID.

Note You define audio sources in the Music On Hold Audio Source Configuration window. For access, choose Media Resources > Music On Hold Audio Source.

Network Hold MOH Audio Source

To specify the audio source that is played when the network initiates a hold action, click the drop-down arrow and choose an audio source from the list that displays.

If you do not choose an audio source, Cisco Unified CM uses the audio source that is defined in the device pool or the system default if the device pool does not specify an audio source ID.

Note You define audio sources in the Music On Hold Audio Source Configuration window. For access, choose Media Resources > Music On Hold Audio Source.

Location

Use locations to implement call admission control (CAC) in a centralized call-processing system. CAC enables you to regulate audio quality and video availability by limiting the amount of bandwidth that is available for audio and video calls over links between locations. The location specifies the total bandwidth that is available for calls to and from this location.

From the drop-down list box, choose the appropriate location for this Cisco Unified IP Phone.

A location setting of Hub_None means that the locations feature does not keep track of the bandwidth that this Cisco Unified IP Phone consumes. A location setting of Phantom specifies a location that enables successful CAC across intercluster trunks that use H.323 protocol or SIP.

Choose the automated alternate routing (AAR) group for this device. The AAR group provides the prefix digits that are used to route calls that are otherwise blocked due to insufficient bandwidth. If no AAR group is specified, Cisco Unified CM uses the AAR group that is associated with Device Pool or Line.

User Locale

From the drop-down list box, choose the locale that is associated with the phone user interface. The user locale identifies a set of detailed information to support users, including language and font.

Cisco Unified CM makes this field available only for phone models that support localization.

Note If no user locale is specified, Cisco Unified CM uses the user locale that is associated with the device pool.

Note If the users require that information be displayed (on the phone) in any language other than English, verify that the locale installer is installed before configuring user locale. See the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Locale Installer documentation.

Network Locale

From the drop-down list box, choose the locale that is associated with the phone. The network locale contains a definition of the tones and cadences that the phone in a specific geographic area uses.

Cisco Unified CM makes this field available only for phone models that support localization.

Note If no network locale is specified, Cisco Unified CM uses the network locale that is associated with the device pool.

Note If users require that country-specific tones be played (on the phone), verify that the locale is installed before configuring the network locale. See the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Locale Installer documentation.

Built In Bridge

Enable or disable the built-in conference bridge for the barge feature by using the Built In Bridge drop-down list box (choose On, Off, or Default).

Note Cisco Unified IP Phones 7940 and 7960 cannot support two media stream encryptions or SRTP streams simultaneously. To prevent instability due to this condition, the system automatically disables the built-in bridge for 7940 and 7960 phones when the device security mode is set to encrypted.

For more configuration information, see "Barge and Privacy" in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Features and Services Guide. You can also see the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Security Guide for more information.

Privacy

For each phone that wants Privacy, choose On in the Privacy drop-down list box. For more configuration information, see "Barge and Privacy" in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Features and Services Guide.

Device Mobility Mode

From the drop-down list box, turn the device mobility feature on or off for this device or choose Default to use the default device mobility mode. Default setting uses the value for the Device Mobility Mode service parameter for the device.

Click View Current Device Mobility Settings to display the current values of these device mobility parameters:

•Cisco Unified Communications Manager Group

•Roaming Device Pool

•Location

•Region

•Network Locale

•AAR Group

•AAR Calling Search Space

•Device Calling Search Space

•Media Resource Group List

•SRST

For more configuration information, see "Device Mobility" in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Features and Services Guide.

Signaling Port

This field applies only to H.323 devices. The value designates the H.225 signaling port that this device uses.

Default value specifies 1720. Valid values range from 1 to 65535.

Video Capabilities Enabled/disabled

This check box turns video capabilities on and off.

Note This field does not apply to all phone models.

Owner User ID

From the drop-down list box, choose the user ID of the assigned phone user. The user ID gets recorded in the call detail record (CDR) for all calls made from this device.

Note Do not configure this field if you are using extension mobility. Extension mobility does not support device owners.

Mobility User ID

(Dual-mode phones only)

From the drop-down list box, choose the user ID of the person to whom this dual-mode phone is assigned.

Note The Mobility User ID configuration gets used for the Mobile Connect and Mobile Voice Access features for dual-mode phones.

Note The Owner User ID and Mobility User ID can differ.

Phone Personalization

The Phone Personalization setting allows you to enable a Cisco Unified IP Phone, so it works with Phone Designer, a Cisco Unified Communications widget that allows a phone user to customize the wallpaper and ring tones on the phone. From the Phone Personalization drop-down list box, choose one of the following options:

•Default-The phone uses the configuration from the Phone Personalization enterprise parameter if you choose Default in both the Phone Configuration and Common Phone Profile Configuration windows. If you choose Default in the Common Phone Profile Configuration window but not in the Phone Configuration window, the phone uses the configuration that you specify in the Phone Configuration window.

You must install and configure Phone Designer, so the phone user can customize the phone. Before you install and configure Phone Designer, identify which Cisco Unified IP Phone models work with Phone Designer, as described in the Phone Designer documentation. For more information on Phone Designer, see the Phone Designer documentation at:

From the drop-down list box, choose how the phone will support the services:

•Internal—The phone uses the phone configuration file to support the service.

Choose this option or Both for Cisco-provided default services where the Service URL has not been updated; that is, the service URL indicates Application:Cisco/<name of service>; for example, Application:Cisco/CorporateDirectory.

Choose Internal or Both for Cisco-signed Java MIDlets because Cisco-signed Java MIDlets are provisioned in the configuration file.

•External URL—Choosing External URL indicates that the phone ignores the services in the phone configuration file and retrieves the services from a Service URL.

If you configured a custom Service URL for a service, including a Cisco-provided default service, you must choose either External URL or Both; if you choose Internal in this case, the services that are associated with the custom URLs do not work on the phone.

•Both—Choosing Both indicates that the phone support both the services that are defined in the configuration file and external applications that are retrieved from service URLs.

Primary Phone

Choose the physical phone that will be associated with the application, such as IP communicator or Cisco Unified Personal Communicator. When you choose a primary phone, the application consumes fewer device license units and is considered an "adjunct" license (to the primary phone). See "Licensing" in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Features and Services Guide.

Wait for Far End H.245 Terminal Capability Set

This field applies only to H.323 devices.

This check box specifies that Cisco Unified CM waits to receive the far-end H.245 Terminal Capability Set before it sends its H.245 Terminal Capability Set. By default, the system checks this check box. To specify that Cisco Unified CM should initiate capabilities exchange, uncheck this check box.

For more information about Cisco Unified IP Phone software and configuration, see the Cisco Unified IP PhoneAdministration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, which is specific to the phone model and Unified CM release.

Single Button Barge

From the drop-down list box, enable or disable the Single Button Barge/cBarge feature for this device or choose Default to use the service parameter setting.

•Off—This setting disables the Single Button Barge/cBarge feature; however, the regular Barge or cBarge features will still work.

•Barge—This setting enables the Single Button Barge feature.

•CBarge—This setting enables the Single Button cBarge feature.

•Default—Uses the Single Button Barge/cBarge setting that is in the service parameter.

For more configuration information, see "Barge and Privacy" in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Features and Services Guide.

Join Across Lines

From the drop-down list box, enable or disable the Join Across Lines feature for this device or choose Default to use the service parameter setting.

•Off—This setting disables the Join Across Lines feature.

•On—This setting enables the Join Across Lines feature.

•Default—This setting uses the Join Across Lines setting that is in the service parameter.

Use Trusted Relay Point

From the drop-down list box, enable or disable whether Cisco Unified CM inserts a trusted relay point (TRP) device with this media endpoint. Choose one of the following values:

•Default—If you choose this value, the device uses the Use Trusted Relay Point setting from the common device configuration with which this device associates.

•Off—Choose this value to disable the use of a TRP with this device. This setting overrides the Use Trusted Relay Point setting in the common device configuration with which this device associates.

•On—Choose this value to enable the use of a TRP with this device. This setting overrides the Use Trusted Relay Point setting in the common device configuration with which this device associates.

A Trusted Relay Point (TRP) device designates an MTP or transcoder device that is labeled as Trusted Relay Point.

Cisco Unified CM places the TRP closest to the associated endpoint device if more than one resource is needed for the endpoint (for example, a transcoder or RSVPAgent).

This setting determines the busy lamp field (BLF) audible alert setting when no current call exists on the BLF DN:

•On—An audible alert sounds.

•Off—No audible alert sounds.

•Default—The configuration in the Service Parameters Configuration window determines the alert option.

BLF Audible Alert Setting (Phone Busy)

This setting determines the BLF audible alert setting when at least one active call exists on the BLF DN, but no call pickup alerts exist:

•On—An audible alert sounds.

•Off—No audible alert sounds.

•Default—The configuration in the Service Parameters Configuration window determines the alert option.

Always Use Prime Line

From the drop-down list box, choose one of the following options:

•Off—When the phone is idle and receives a call on any line, the phone user answers the call from the line on which the call is received.

•On—When the phone is idle (off hook) and receives a call on any line, the primary line gets chosen for the call. Calls on other lines continue to ring, and the phone user must select those other lines to answer these calls.

•Default—Cisco Unified Communications Manager uses the configuration from the Always Use Prime Line service parameter, which supports the Cisco CallManager service.

Always Use Prime Line for Voice Message

From the drop-down list box, choose one of the following options:

•On—If the phone is idle, the primary line on the phone becomes the active line for retrieving voice messages when the phone user presses the Messages button on the phone.

•Off—If the phone is idle, pressing the Messages button on the phone automatically dials the voice-messaging system from the line that has a voice message. Cisco Unified CM always selects the first line that has a voice message. If no line has a voice message, the primary line gets used when the phone user presses the Messages button.

•Default—Cisco Unified CM uses the configuration from the Always Use Prime Line for Voice Message service parameter, which supports the Cisco CallManager service.

Calling Party Transformation CSS

This setting allows you to localize the calling party number on the device. Make sure that the Calling Party Transformation CSS that you choose contains the calling party transformation pattern that you want to assign to this device.

Tip Before the call occurs, the device must apply the transformation by using digit analysis. If you configure the Calling Party Transformation CSS as None, the transformation does not match and does not get applied. Ensure that you configure the Calling Party Transformation Pattern in a non-null partition that is not used for routing.

Geolocation

From the drop-down list box, choose a geolocation.

You can choose the Unspecified geolocation, which designates that this device does not associate with a geolocation.

You can also choose a geolocation that has been configured with the System > Geolocation Configuration menu option.

Feature Control Policy

From the drop-down list box, you can choose a feature control policy that has already been configured in the Feature Control Policy configuration window (Device > Device Settings > Feature Control Policy).

Use Device Pool Calling Party Transformation CSS

To use the Calling Party Transformation CSS that is configured in the device pool that is assigned to this device, check this check box. If you do not check this check box, the device uses the Calling Party Transformation CSS that you chose in the Phone Configuration window.

Retry Video Call as Audio

This check box applies only to video endpoints that receive a call. If this phone receives a call that does not connect as video, the call tries to connect as an audio call.

By default, the system checks this check box to specify that this device should immediately retry a video call as an audio call (if it cannot connect as a video call) prior to sending the call to call control for rerouting.

If you uncheck this check box, a video call that fails to connect as video does not try to establish as an audio call. The call then fails to call control, and call control routes the call via automatic alternate routing (AAR) and/or route/hunt list.

Ignore Presentation Indicators (internal calls only)

Check this check box to configure call display restrictions on a call-by-call basis. When this check box is checked, Cisco Unified CM ignores any presentation restriction that is received for internal calls.

Use this configuration in combination with the calling line ID presentation and connected line ID presentation configuration at the translation pattern level. Together, these settings allow you to configure call display restrictions to selectively present or block calling and/or connected line display information for each call.

For more information about call display restrictions, see the "Call Display Restrictions" chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Features and Services Guide.

Allow Control of Device from CTI

Check this check box to allow CTI to control and monitor this device.

If the associated directory number specifies a shared line, the check box should be enabled as long as at least one associated device specifies a combination of device type and protocol that CTI supports.

Logged into Hunt Group

This check box, which gets checked by default for all phones, indicates that the phone is currently logged in to a hunt list (group). When the phone gets added to a hunt list, the administrator can log the user in or out by checking (and unchecking) this check box.

Users use the softkey on the phone to log their phone in or out of the hunt list.

Remote Device

If you are experiencing delayed connect times over SCCP pipes to remote sites, check the Remote Device check box in the Phone Configuration window. Checking this check box tells Cisco Unified CM to allocate a buffer for the phone device when it registers and to bundle SCCP messages to the phone.

Tip Because this feature consumes resources, be sure to check this check box only when you are experiencing signaling delays for phones that are running SCCP. Most users do not require this option.

Cisco Unified CM sends the bundled messages to the phone when the station buffer is full, as soon as it receives a media-related message, or when the Bundle Outbound SCCP Messages timer expires.

To specify a setting other than the default setting (100 msec) for the Bundle Outbound SCCP Messages timer, configure a new value in the Service Parameters Configuration window for the Cisco CallManager service. Although 100 msec specifies the recommended setting, you may enter 15 msec to 500 msec.

The phone must support SCCP version 9 to use this option. The following phones do not support SCCP message optimization: Cisco Unified IP Phone 7935/7936. This feature may require a phone reset after update. See the "Synchronizing a Phone" section.

Protected Device

Check this check box to designate a phone as protected, which enables the phone to play a 2-second tone to notify the user when a call is encrypted and both phones are configured as protected devices. The tone plays for both parties when the call is answered. The tone does not play unless both phones are protected and the call occurs over encrypted media.

Checking this check box represents only one of several configuration requirements for the secure indication tone to play. For a detailed description of the secure indication tone feature and the configuration requirements, see the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Security Guide.

If you check this check box and the system determines that the call is not encrypted, the phone plays nonsecure indication tone to alert the user that the call is not protected.

Hotline Device

Check this check box to make this device a Hotline device. Hotline devices can only connect to other Hotline devices. This feature is an extension of PLAR, which configures a phone to automatically dial one directory number when it goes off-hook. Hotline provides additional restrictions that you can apply to devices that use PLAR.

To implement Hotline, you must also create a softkey template without supplementary service softkeys, and apply it to the Hotline device.

Protocol Specific Information

Packet Capture Mode

This setting exists for troubleshooting encryption only; packet capturing may cause high CPU usage or call-processing interruptions. Choose one of the following options from the drop-down list box:

•None—This option, which serves as the default setting, indicates that no packet capturing is occurring. After you complete packet capturing, configure this setting.

•Batch Processing Mode—Cisco Unified CM writes the decrypted or nonencrypted messages to a file, and the system encrypts each file. On a daily basis, the system creates a new file with a new encryption key. Cisco Unified CM, which stores the file for seven days, also stores the keys that encrypt the file in a secure location. Cisco Unified CM stores the file in the PktCap virtual directory. A single file contains the time stamp, source IP address, source IP port, destination IP address, packet protocol, message length, and the message. The TAC debugging tool uses HTTPS, administrator username and password, and the specified day to request a single encrypted file that contains the captured packets. Likewise, the tool requests the key information to decrypt the encrypted file.

For more information on packet capturing, see the Troubleshooting Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager.

This field specifies the maximum number of minutes that is allotted for one session of packet capturing. The default setting equals 0, although the range exists from 0 to 300 minutes.

To initiate packet capturing, enter a value other than 0 in the field. After packet capturing completes, the value, 0, displays.

For more information on packet capturing, see the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Troubleshooting Guide.

SRTP Allowed

As this check box explains, if this flag is checked, IPSec needs to be configured in the network to provide end-to-end security. Failure to do so will expose keys and other information.

For more information on SRTP encryption, see the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Security Guide.

Presence Group

Configure this field with the Presence feature.

From the drop-down list box, choose a Presence group for the end user. The selected group specifies the devices, end users, and application users that can monitor this directory number.

The default value for Presence Group specifies Standard Presence group, configured with installation. Presence groups that are configured in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration also appear in the drop-down list box.

Presence authorization works with presence groups to allow or block presence requests between groups. See the "Presence" chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Features and Services Guide for information about configuring permissions between groups and how presence works with extension mobility.

Device Security Profile

Choose the security profile to apply to the device.

You must apply a security profile to all phones that are configured in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration. Installing Cisco Unified Communications Manager provides a set of predefined, nonsecure security profiles for auto-registration. To enable security features for a phone, you must configure a new security profile for the device type and protocol and apply it to the phone. If the phone does not support security, choose a nonsecure profile.

Note The CAPF settings that are configured in the profile relate to the Certificate Authority Proxy Function settings that display in the Phone Configuration window. You must configure CAPF settings for certificate operations that involve manufacturer-installed certificates (MICs) or locally significant certificates (LSC). See the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Security Guide for more information about how CAPF settings that you update in the phone configuration window affect security profile CAPF settings.

SIP Dial Rules

If required, choose the appropriate SIP dial rule. SIP dial rules provide local dial plans for Cisco Unified IP Phones 7905, 7912, 7940, and 7960, so users do not have to press a key or wait for a timer before the call gets processed.

Leave the SIP Dial Rules field set to <None> if you do not want dial rules to apply to the IP phone that is running SIP. This means that the user must use the Dial softkey or wait for the timer to expire before the call gets processed.

MTP Preferred Originating Codec

From the drop-down list box, choose the codec to use if a media termination point is required for SIP calls.

Rerouting Calling Search Space

From the drop-down list box, choose a calling search space to use for rerouting.

The rerouting calling search space of the referrer gets used to find the route to the refer-to target. When the Refer fails due to the rerouting calling search space, the Refer Primitive rejects the request with the "405 Method Not Allowed" message.

The redirection (3xx) primitive and transfer feature also uses the rerouting calling search space to find the redirect-to or transfer-to target.

Cisco Unified CM uses the out-of-dialog (OOD) Refer Authorization calling search space (CSS) to authorize the SIP out-of-dialog Refer. The administrator can restrict the use of out-of-dialog Refer by configuring the OOD CSS of the Referrer. Refer Primitive rejects the OOD Refer request with a "403 Forbidden" message.

SUBSCRIBE Calling Search Space

Supported with the Presence feature, the SUBSCRIBE calling search space determines how Cisco Unified CM routes presence requests that come from the phone. This setting allows you to apply a calling search space separate from the call-processing search space for presence (SUBSCRIBE) requests for the phone.

From the drop-down list box, choose the SUBSCRIBE calling search space to use for presence requests for the phone. All calling search spaces that you configure in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration display in the SUBSCRIBE Calling Search Space drop-down list box.

If you do not select a different calling search space for the end user from the drop-down list, the SUBSCRIBE calling search space defaults to None.

•No Rollover—Conference and transfer will not work in this mode. If a user attempts to use either of these features, the phone status displays as "Error Pass Limit." Choose this setting only if you need to support CTI applications.

•Rollover Within Same DN—Conferences and call transfers complete by using the same directory number (on different lines). For example, consider a phone that has directory number 1506 that is assigned to both Line 6 and 7. The user has an active call on Line 6 and decides to transfer the call. When the user presses the Transfer button, the call on Line 6 gets placed on hold, and a new call initiates on Line 7 to complete the transfer.

•Rollover to any line—Conferences and call transfers complete by using a different directory number and line than the original call. For example, consider a phone that has directory number 1507 assigned to Line 8 and directory number 1508 assigned to Line 9. The user has an active call on Line 8 and decides to transfer the call. When the user presses the Transfer button, the call on Line 8 gets placed on hold, and a new call initiates on Line 9 to complete the transfer.

SIP Profile

Choose the default SIP profile or a specific profile that was previously created. SIP profiles provide specific SIP information for the phone such as registration and keepalive timers, media ports, and do not disturb control.

Digest User

Choose an end user that you want to associate with the phone for this setting that is used with digest authentication (SIP security).

Ensure that you configured digest credentials for the user that you choose, as specified in the End User Configuration window.

After you save the phone configuration and apply the configuration update to the phone (see the "Synchronizing a Phone" section), the digest credentials for the user get added to the phone configuration file.

For more information on digest authentication, see the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Security Guide.

Media Termination Point Required

Use this field to indicate whether a media termination point is used to implement features that H.323 does not support (such as hold and transfer).

Check the Media Termination Point Required check box if you want to use an MTP to implement features. Uncheck the Media Termination Point Required check box if you do not want to use an MTP to implement features.

Use this check box only for H.323 clients and those H.323 devices that do not support the H.245 empty capabilities set or if you want media streaming to terminate through a single source.

If you check this check box to require an MTP and this device becomes the endpoint of a video call, the call will be audio only.

Unattended Port

Check this check box to indicate an unattended port on this device.

Require DTMF Reception

For phones that are running SIP and SCCP, check this check box to require DTMF reception for this phone.

Note In configuring Cisco Unified Mobility features, when using intercluster DNs as remote destinations for an IP phone via SIP trunk (either intercluster trunk [ICT] or gateway), check this check box so that DTMF digits can be received out of band, which is crucial for Enterprise Feature Access midcall features.

RFC2833 Disabled

For phones that are running SCCP, check this check box to disable RFC2833 support.

•Install/Upgrade—Installs a new or upgrades an existing locally significant certificate in the phone.

•Delete—Deletes the locally significant certificate that exists in the phone.

•Troubleshoot—Retrieves the locally significant certificate (LSC) or the manufacture installed certificate (MIC), so you can view the certificate credentials in the CAPF trace file. If both certificate types exist in the phone, Cisco Unified CM creates two trace files, one for each certificate type.

By choosing the Troubleshooting option, you can verify that an LSC or MIC exists in the phone.

For more information on CAPF operations, see the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Security Guide.

Authentication Mode

This field allows you to choose the authentication method that the phone uses during the CAPF certificate operation.

From the drop-down list box, choose one of the following options:

•By Authentication String—Installs/upgrades, deletes, or troubleshoots a locally significant certificate only when the user enters the CAPF authentication string on the phone.

This option provides no security; Cisco strongly recommends that you choose this option only for closed, secure environments.

•By Existing Certificate (Precedence to LSC)—Installs/upgrades, deletes, or troubleshoots a locally significant certificate if a manufacture-installed certificate (MIC) or locally significant certificate (LSC) exists in the phone. If a LSC exists in the phone, authentication occurs via the LSC, regardless whether a MIC exists in the phone. If a MIC and LSC exist in the phone, authentication occurs via the LSC. If a LSC does not exist in the phone, but a MIC does exist, authentication occurs via the MIC.

Before you choose this option, verify that a certificate exists in the phone. If you choose this option and no certificate exists in the phone, the operation fails.

At any time, the phone uses only one certificate to authenticate to CAPF even though a MIC and LSC can exist in the phone at the same time. If the primary certificate, which takes precedence, becomes compromised for any reason, or, if you want to authenticate via the other certificate, you must update the authentication mode.

•By Existing Certificate (Precedence to MIC)—Installs, upgrades, deletes, or troubleshoots a locally significant certificate if a LSC or MIC exists in the phone. If a MIC exists in the phone, authentication occurs via the MIC, regardless whether a LSC exists in the phone. If a LSC exists in the phone, but a MIC does not exist, authentication occurs via the LSC.

Before you choose this option, verify that a certificate exists in the phone. If you choose this option and no certificate exists in the phone, the operation fails.

Note The CAPF settings that are configured in the Phone Security Profile window interact with the CAPF parameters that are configured in the Phone Configuration window.

Authentication String

If you chose the By Authentication String option in the Authentication Mode drop-down list box, this field applies. Manually enter a string or generate a string by clicking the Generate String button. Ensure that the string contains 4 to 10 digits.

To install, upgrade, delete, or troubleshoot a locally significant certificate, the phone user or administrator must enter the authentication string on the phone.

Key Size (Bits)

For this setting that is used for CAPF, choose the key size for the certificate from the drop-down list box. The default setting equals 1024. Other options include 512 and 2048.

If you choose a higher key size than the default setting, the phones take longer to generate the entropy that is required to generate the keys. Key generation, which is set at low priority, allows the phone to function while the action occurs. Depending on the phone model, you may notice that key generation takes up to 30 or more minutes to complete.

Note The CAPF settings that are configured in the Phone Security Profile window interact with the CAPF parameters that are configured in the Phone Configuration window.

Phone Migration Settings

Speed-Dial and Abbreviated-Dial Configuration Settings

Table 67-2 describes the speed-dial button configuration settings. The Speed Dial and Abbreviated Dial Configuration window contains the following sections: speed-dial settings on the phone and abbreviated-dial settings that are not associated with a button. The descriptions in Table 67-2 apply to both sections.

The system provides a total of 199 speed-dial and abbreviated-dial settings.

Speed Dial Settings

Configure these settings for the physical buttons on the phone.

Abbreviated Dial Settings

Configure these settings for the speed-dial numbers that you access with abbreviated dialing. When the user configures up to 199 speed-dial entries, part of the speed-dial entries can get assigned to the speed-dial buttons on the IP phone; the remaining speed-dial entries get used for abbreviated dialing. When a user starts dialing digits, the AbbrDial softkey displays on the phone, and the user can access any speed-dial entry by entering the appropriate index (code) for abbreviated dialing.

Note Not all Cisco Unified IP Phones support abbreviated dialing. See the phone user guide for information.

Enter the number that you want the system to dial when the user presses the speed-dial button. You can enter digits 0 through 9, *, #, and +, which is the international escape character.

Label

Enter the text that you want to display for the speed-dial button or abbreviated-dial number.

Cisco Unified Communications Manager does not make this field available for the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7910.

ASCII Label

This field provides the same information as the Label field, but you must limit input to ASCII characters. Devices that do not support unicode (internationalized) characters display the content of the ASCII Label field.

BLF/Speed Dial Configuration Settings

When you configure Presence in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, an interested party, known as a watcher, can monitor the real-time status of a directory number or SIP URI with a BLF/SpeedDial button on the device of the watcher.

For Presence-supported phones that are running SIP, you can configure directory numbers or SIP URIs as BLF/SpeedDial buttons. For Presence-supported phones that are running SCCP, you can configure only directory numbers as BLF/SpeedDial buttons.

For information on configuring BLF/SpeedDial buttons, see the "Presence" chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Features and Services Guide.

For information on configuring BLF/Directed Call Park buttons, see the "Call Park and Directed Call Park" chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Features and Services Guide.

Configuring Cisco Unified IP Phones

You can automatically add phones to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database by using auto-registration or manually add phones by using the Phone Configuration windows.

By enabling auto-registration, you can automatically add a Cisco Unified IP Phone to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database when you connect the phone to your IP telephony network. During auto-registration, Cisco Unified Communications Manager assigns the next available sequential directory number to the phone. In many cases, you might not want to use auto-registration; for example, if you want to assign a specific directory number to a phone.

Note Cisco recommends using auto-registration in small configurations or testing labs only.

If you do not use auto-registration, you must manually add phones to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database.

After you add a Cisco Unified IP Phone to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, the RIS Data Collector service displays the device name, registration status, and the IP address of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager to which the phone is registered in the Phone Configuration window.

Before a Cisco Unified IP Phone can be used, you must use this procedure to add the phone to Cisco Unified Communications Manager. You can also use this procedure to configure third-party phones that are running SIP, H.323 clients, CTI ports, the Cisco ATA 186 Telephone Adaptor, or the Cisco IP Communicator. H.323 clients can comprise Microsoft NetMeeting clients. CTI ports designate virtual devices that Cisco Unified Communications Manager applications such as Cisco SoftPhone and Cisco Unified Communications Manager Auto-Attendant use.

When you add a new phone, you can choose a phone template that was created by the Bulk Administration Tool to configure automatically some of the phone configuration settings, based on the template.

Phone templates must exist on the server before you can select a phone template. For more information about Bulk Administration Tool phone templates, see the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Bulk Administration Guide.

Tip In the Phone Configuration window for a specific phone, you can view the IPv4 address and the IPv6 address, if applicable, that the phone uses. For phones in dual-stack mode that have both an IPv4 and IPv6 address, you can click the IPv4 or IPv6 address in the Phone Configuration window, which points to an IPv4 URL for the web server on the phone. For phones that use an IPv6 address only, you cannot click the IPv6 address because the web server on the phone only supports IPv4.

•To copy an existing phone, locate the appropriate phone in the Find and List Phones window, click the Copy button next to the phone that you want to copy, and continue with Step 5.

•To copy an existing phone and copy the directory numbers, speed dials, busy lamp field/speed dials, and service URLs that are associated with the phone, locate the appropriate phone in the Find and List Phones window, click the Super Copy button next to the phone that you want to copy, and continue with Step 5.

Note The lines that get copied become shared lines between the original phone and the new phone.

•To add a new phone, click the Add New button and continue with Step 3.

•Select the Phone Template radio button, select the appropriate phone template from the drop-down list box, and click Next. (Only phone templates that were created in the Bulk Administration Tool display in the drop-down list box.)

Only the settings that are appropriate to the chosen phone type display in the window.

Step 6 Click Save.

If you are adding a phone, a message displays that states that the phone has been added to the database. To add a directory number to this phone, click one of the line links, such as Line [1] - Add a new DN, in the Association Information pane that displays on the left side of the window. Continue with the "Directory Number Configuration Settings" section on page 43-1.

If you are updating a phone, a message displays that states that you must click the Apply Config button for your changes to take effect. For more information about the Apply Config button, see the "Synchronizing a Phone" section.

For more information on phone configuration, as well as H.323 clients, CTI ports, and other devices from Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, see the "Related Topics" section.

Migrating Existing Phone Configuration to a Different Phone

The Phone Migration window in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration allows you to migrate feature, user, and line configuration for a phone to a different phone. You can migrate data to a different phone model or to the same phone model that runs a different protocol. For example, you can migrate data from a Cisco Unified IP Phone 7965 to a Cisco Unified IP Phone 7975, or you can migrate data from a phone model that runs SCCP, for example, the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7965 (SCCP) and move it to the same phone model that runs SIP, for example, the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7965 (SIP).

Tip Phone migration allows you to port existing phone configuration to a new phone without the need to add a phone, lines, speed dials, and so on.

Before you migrate existing phone configuration to a different phone, see the following topics:

Before you can migrate phone configuration to a new phone, consider the following information:

•If the phone models do not support the same functionality, be aware that you may lose functionality on the new phone after the migration occurs. Before you save the migration configuration in the Phone Migration window, Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration displays a warning that you may lose feature functionality.

•Before you can migrate the phone configuration, you must create a phone template in BAT for the phone model and protocol to which you want to migrate. For example, if you want to migrate the configuration for a Cisco Unified IP Phone 7965 to a Cisco Unified IP Phone 7975, you create the phone template for the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7975.

If the Phone Configuration window does not display a field for the original phone, but the field is required for the new phone, the new phone uses the value from the phone template for the required field.

•The new phone uses the same existing database record as the original phone, so migrating the phone configuration to the new phone removes the configuration for the original phone from Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration/the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database; that is, you cannot view or access the configuration for the original phone after the migration.

Migrating to a phone that uses fewer speed dials or lines does not remove the speed dials or lines for the original phone from Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration/the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database, although some speed dials/lines do not display on the new phone. After you migrate the configuration, you can see all speed dials and lines for the original phone in the Phone Configuration window for the new phone.

•Before you migrate the phone configuration to a new phone, ensure that the phones are unplugged from the network. After you perform the migration tasks, you can plug the new phone into the network and register the device.

•Before you migrate the phone configuration to a new phone, ensure that you have enough device license units for the new phone.

Tip If you want to migrate the configuration for multiple phones, use the Bulk Administration Tool; for information on how to perform this task, see the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Bulk Administration Guide.

Procedure

Step 1 Make sure that you created a phone template in BAT for the phone model and protocol to which you want to migrate the data. In Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, choose Bulk Administration > Phones > Phone Template.

Step 2 In the Find and List Phones window (Device > Phone), find the phone configuration that you want to migrate.

Step 3 After you display the Phone Configuration window for the phone configuration that you want to migrate, choose Migrate Phone from the Related Links drop-down list box.

Configuring Speed-Dial Buttons or Abbreviated Dialing

You use Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration to configure speed-dial buttons for phones if you want to provide speed-dial buttons for users or if you are configuring phones that do not have a specific user who is assigned to them. Users use Cisco Unified CM User Options to change the speed-dial buttons on their phones.

Table 67-2 describes the speed-dial button and abbreviated dialing configuration settings. The Speed Dial and Abbreviated Dial Configuration window contains the following sections: speed-dial settings on the phone and abbreviated-dial settings that are not associated with a button. The descriptions in Table 67-2 apply to both sections.

The system provides a total of 199 speed-dial and abbreviated-dial settings.

Speed Dial Settings

Configure these settings for the physical buttons on the phone.

Abbreviated Dial Settings

Configure these settings for the speed-dial numbers that you access with abbreviated dialing. When the user configures up to 199 speed-dial entries, part of the speed-dial entries can get assigned to the speed-dial buttons on the IP phone; the remaining speed-dial entries get used for abbreviated dialing. When a user starts dialing digits, the AbbrDial softkey displays on the phone, and the user can access any speed-dial entry by entering the appropriate index (code) for abbreviated dialing.

Note Not all Cisco Unified IP Phones support abbreviated dialing. See the phone user guide for information.

Procedure

Step 1 From the Phone Configuration window, choose Add/Update Speed Dials from the Related Links drop-down list box at the top of the window and click Go.

The Speed Dial and Abbreviated Dial Configuration window displays for this phone.

Configuring IP Phone Services

From certain phones, such as Cisco Unified IP Phone 7970, 7960, and 7940, users can access services, such as weather, stock quotes, or other services that are available to them. Using Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, you can set up the available services for phones. For some services, users can use the Cisco Unified CM User Options menu to modify the services. For information about the Cisco Unified CM User Options, see the Cisco Unified IP Phone User Guidethat is specific to your phone model. For more information on maintaining services in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, see the "IP Phone Services Configuration" section on page 75-1.

See the following sections for details of subscribing to a phone service, updating a phone service, and unsubscribing from a phone service:

Subscribing to a Service

You (or an end user) cannot subscribe to services that are marked as enterprise subscriptions. (The enterprise subscription column displays in the Find and List IP Phone Services window. If true displays in the column, you (or an end user) cannot subscribe to the service. In a service is marked as an enterprise subscription, the service automatically displays on the phone, unless you disable the service in the Phone Services Configuration window.

To subscribe to new services for a phone, perform the following steps.

Configuring Service URL Buttons

From some Cisco Unified IP Phone models, users can access information services, such as weather, stock quotes, or other services that are available to them. Using Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, you can configure services to be available on a phone button (speed dial button) and then configure that button for the phone. See the Cisco Unified IP PhoneUser Guidethat is specific for your phone model. For more information on maintaining services in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, see the "IP Phone Services Configuration" section on page 75-1.

Tip When you configure a service, you specify whether you want the service to display under the Messages, Directory, or Services button. If your phone model has a Messages, Directory, or Services button/option, the service can display under any of these buttons in addition to the phone button for speed dials (service URL button). If a service is marked as an enterprise subscription, you cannot add the service to a service URL button.

Adding a Service URL Button

To configure the service URL buttons for a phone, perform the following steps.

Copying to a Remote Destination Profile

You can copy information from a phone record to a new remote destination profile, which is used for Mobile Connect and Mobile Voice Access.

Displaying the MAC Address of a Phone

The Media Access Control (MAC) address comprises a unique, 12-character, hexadecimal number that identifies a Cisco Unified IP Phone or other hardware device. Locate the number on a label on the bottom of the phone (for example, 000B6A409C405 for Cisco Unified IP Phone 7900 family of phones or SS-00-0B-64-09-C4-05 for Cisco IP Phone SP 12+ and 30 VIP). Cisco Unified Communications Manager makes the MAC address a required field for Cisco Unified IP Phone device configuration. When you enter the MAC address in Cisco Unified Communications Manager fields, do not use spaces or dashes and do not include the "SS" that may precede the MAC address on the label.

For more information on displaying the MAC Address or additional configuration settings on Cisco Unified IP Phones, see the Cisco Unified IP Phone Administration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Managerthat supports the phone model. To display the MAC address for the Cisco IP Phone 12 Series and Cisco IP Phone 30 Series phones or the Cisco VG248 Gateway, perform the following tasks:

•Cisco IP Phone 12 (SP +) Series and 30 Series (VIP)—Press ** to display the MAC address on the second line of the LCD display.

•Cisco VG224 phone ports—You can configure a Cisco VG224 gateway as an MGCP gateway or an SCCP gateway. When it is configured as an SCCP gateway, it can have 24 analog phone endpoints. When it is configured this way, it functions similarly to an IOS SCCP gateway. The MAC address for each individual phone gets calculated by using a formula that considers the slot position, subunit, port, and the last 10 characters of the original MAC address. See the "Gateway Configuration" section on page 66-1 for configuration information.

•Cisco IP Communicator—Get the MAC address from the network interface of the client PC on which you want to install the Cisco IP Communicator application.
